Climate control system settings can
be changed by activating the
buttons and rotary knobs as follows.
Changing a setting will deactivate
the automatic mode.
Fan speed
Adjust the air flow by switching the
fan to the desired speed. The
selected fan speed is indicated by
the number of segments in the
display. If the fan is switched off the
air conditioning is also deactivated.
To return to automatic mode,
pressAUTO.
Air distribution
Press appropriate button for desired
adjustment. Activation is indicated
by the LED in the button.

Cooling
Press A/C to switch on cooling.
Activation is indicated by the LED in
the button. Cooling is only functional
when the engine is running and
climate control fan is switched on.
Press A/C again to switch off
cooling. The air conditioning system
cools and dehumidifies (dries) when
outside temperature is above a
specific level. Therefore

from under the vehicle. If no cooling
or drying is required, switch off the
cooling system for fuel saving
reasons.

recirculation mode. Activation is
indicated by the LED in the button.
Press
Wagain to deactivate
recirculation mode.
{Warning
The exchange of fresh air is
reduced in air recirculation mode.
In operation without cooling the
air humidity increases, so the
windows may mist up from inside.
The quality of the passenger
compartment air deteriorates,
which may cause the vehicle
occupants to feel drowsy. In warm and very humid ambient air
conditions, the windscreen might
mist up from outside, when cold air
is directed to it. If windscreen mists
up from outside, activate
windscreen wiper.
Maximum cooling
Briefly open the windows so that hot
air can disperse quickly.

Air Vents
Adjustable Air Vents
At least one air vent must be open
while cooling is on in order to
prevent the evaporator from icing up
due to lack of air movement.
Direct the flow of air by tilting and
swivelling the slats. If you do not
want the flow, move the slats to
inside for centre vent and outside
for side vent. The vent has some air
leakages at closed position.

Air Conditioning Regular
Operation
In order to ensure continuously
efficient performance, cooling must
be operated for a few minutes once
a month, irrespective of the weather
and time of year. Operation with
cooling is not possible when the
outside temperature is too low.
Service
For optimal cooling performance, it
is recommended to annually check
the climate control system.

Driving and Operating 143
Restart of the engine by the
stop-start system
The selector lever must be in
neutral to enable an automatic
restart.
If one of the following conditions
occurs during an Autostop, the
engine will be restarted
automatically by the stop-start
system.
.The stop-start system is
manually deactivated.
. The bonnet is opened.
. The driver's seat belt is
unfastened and the driver's door
is opened.
. The engine temperature is
too low.
. The vehicle battery is
discharged.
. The brake vacuum is not
sufficient.
. The vehicle starts to move.
. The climate control system
requests an engine start. .
The air conditioning is manually
switched on.
If the bonnet is not fully closed, a
warning message is displayed in the
Driver Information Centre.
If an electrical accessory, e.g. a
portable CD player, is connected to
the power socket, a brief power
drop during restart might be
noticeable.
Parking
{Warning
. Do not park the vehicle on
an easily ignitable surface.
The high temperature of the
exhaust system could ignite
the surface.
. Always apply parking brake.
Apply manual parking brake
without pressing release
button. Apply as firmly as
possible on downhill or

Warning (Continued)
uphill slopes. Depress the
foot brake at the same time
to reduce operating force.
. Switch off the engine and
ignition. Turn the steering
wheel until the steering
wheel lock engages.
. If the vehicle is on a level
surface or uphill slope,
engage first gear before
switching off the ignition.
On an uphill slope, turn the
front wheels away from
the kerb.
If the vehicle is on a
downhill slope, engage
reverse gear before
switching off the ignition.
Turn the front wheels
towards the kerb.

If
7flashes for 60-90 seconds and
then illuminates continuously, there
is a fault in the system. Consult a
workshop. After inflating, driving may be
required to update the tyre pressure
values in the DIC. During this time

If
7illuminates at lower
temperatures and extinguishes after
some driving, this could be an
indicator for getting low pressure.
Check tyre pressure.

A temporary spare wheel is not
equipped with pressure sensors.
The tyre pressure monitoring
system is not operational for these
wheels. Control indicator

illuminates. For the further three
wheels the system remains
operational. The use of commercially available
liquid tyre repair kits can impair the
function of the system. Factory
approved repair kits can be used.
External high-power radio
equipment could disrupt the tyre
pressure monitoring system.
Each time the tyres are replaced
tyre pressure monitoring system
sensors must be dismounted and
serviced. For the screwed sensor :
Replace valve core and sealing ring.
For clipped sensor : Replace
complete valve stem.

Vehicle Data

Privacy
Event Data Recorders
Data storage modules in the
vehicle
A large number of electronic
components of your vehicle contain
data storage modules temporarily or
permanently storing technical data
about the condition of the vehicle,
events and errors. In general, this
technical information documents the
condition of parts, modules, systems
or the environment:
.Operating conditions of system
components (e.g. filling levels)
. Status messages of the vehicle
and its single components (e.g.
number of wheel revolutions /
rotational speed, deceleration,
lateral acceleration) .
Dysfunctions and defects in
important system components
. Vehicle reactions in particular
driving situations (e.g. inflation of
an airbag, activation of the
stability regulation system)
. Environmental conditions (e.g.
temperature)
This data is exclusively technical
and helps identify and correct errors
as well as optimise vehicle
functions.
Motion profiles indicating travelled
routes cannot be created with
these data.
If services are used (e.g. repair
works, service processes, warranty
cases, quality assurance),
employees of the service network
(manufacturer included) are able to
read out this technical information
from the event and error data
storage modules applying special
diagnostic devices. If required, you
will receive further information at
these workshops. After an error has been corrected, the data is deleted
from the error storage module or
constantly overwritten.
When using the vehicle, situations
may occur in which these technical
data related to other information
(accident report, damages on the
vehicle, witness statements etc.)
may be associated with a specific
person - possibly, with the
assistance of an expert.
Additional functions contractually
agreed upon with the client (e.g.
vehicle location in emergency
cases) allow the transmission of
particular vehicle data from the
vehicle.
